This is not how immortals cultivate

Chapter 469 Yu Ling: How did you end up sitting in the Master's seat, child?

Bai Wuyan was quite experienced in repairing primordial spirits, after all, Xiang Yuan had repaired her many times, each time going on a shopping spree without holding back. After watching so many times, even if she had no experience, she would have gained some.

Her primordial spirit surged into Xiang Yuan's sea of ​​consciousness, where she saw a phantom with a vertical crack between its eyebrows, which coiled around and merged with her. She quickly realized something was wrong.

Indeed, there was no trace of a lowly servant; he was completely innocent and had not been secretly pursuing further studies outside.

However, the vast and inexplicable laws of heaven and earth still gave the White House a slight shock.

I know you're prone to stumbling over opportunities while walking, but you're just too good at picking them up!

Moreover, this is not in accordance with the laws of nature!

Bai Wuyan suppressed her shock and only copied a few parts. It was indeed the origin of the laws of heaven, a treasure that ordinary cultivators could never fathom in their entire lives.

In the present Qianyuan Realm, the laws of Heaven do not exist. Even the laws of Su Ran Sword Venerable's small world cannot be cultivated by tracing back to their origin. Because of the memories of the Queen Mother of the West, the White Palace Master is very certain that he has not seen wrong.

The question is: to copy or not to copy?

Bai Wuyan subconsciously thought this was a scheme. Putting aside the possibility, just like the previous Ninth-Rank Immaculate White Lotus, who schemed against Xiang Yuan while also including her in the scheme.

If you copy it, you'll fall into their trap, sink into a downward spiral, and find it difficult to escape in the future.

No plagiarism...

Considering the rumors surrounding the Queen Mother of the West and King Mu of Zhou, and then considering the irredeemable Pure White Lotus, she has already entered the game and there is no turning back.

Moreover, I've already copied a little bit.

The temptation was so great that Bai Wuyan could not resist. She found an irreversible reason and decisively began copying, using the connection between her primordial spirit and the principles of the Heavenly Dao that Xiang Yuan had mastered to reflect onto her own primordial spirit.

The two embraced each other with their primordial spirits and physical bodies, entering an unprecedented state of spiritual and physical union.

In the instant the laws of Heaven were reflected, they were like a chaotic, tangled ball of threads, which were slowly untangled by the two of them.

Through the methods of the Small World, the original, obscure and difficult-to-understand principles of Heaven and Earth are peeled away layer by layer, dissected into more fundamental principles of Heaven and Earth like unraveling a cocoon.

The image, like a tangled mess, was untangled and clarified by an invisible hand.

The coarse threads of law were stretched and extended until they were taut like a string; the fine, dense fibers were peeled away, floating in the void like dust; some stubborn old principles, like dead knots, were cut off directly, turning into light dust and dissipating...

Dismantle!

Scattered threads collided and intertwined in the microcosm; some attracted each other, entwining into new chains of law; others repelled each other, bursting forth with brilliant Dao fire before annihilating; still others mutated in their wandering, evolving into strange structures never seen before…

Reorganization!

The newly formed laws of heaven and earth grew wildly like weeds. Some were as solid as a rock, instantly taking root in the foundation of the small world; some were as fragile as thin ice, unable to reach the other side, collapsing on their own as soon as they took shape; and some were as twisted as poisonous vines, turning against themselves before being forcibly erased...

Deduction!

Disassembly, recombination, and deduction occur. At the moment when the small world grows to its limit, chaos returns, all the laws of heaven and earth are brought together, and the laws of heaven are restored.

The way of Heaven is like a woven tapestry, endlessly repeating itself!
In the newly formed little world, the laws of nature once again embark on a path of dismantling, reorganizing, and deducing, making this world increasingly realistic.

After an unknown amount of time, Xiang Yuan wearily opened his eyes, ending this endless evolution of the world.

too tired!
My spirit was utterly exhausted, and I felt as if my body had been completely hollowed out.

Bai Wuyan was the same. Xiang Yuan provided the venue and the principles, while she was responsible for providing manpower and effort. Her mental energy was even greater than Xiang Yuan's. She was completely focused during the dual cultivation and did not notice anything. After the cultivation ended, the exhausted dark tide surged down and almost drowned her.

Bai Wuyan nestled softly in Xiang Yuan's arms, biting his neck and scratching his back lightly.

What are you waiting for? Get moving!

"No, I'm tired too..."

Xiang Yuan muttered something, activated the Formless Seal Technique, strengthening his external divine power and internal primordial spirit. After recovering some strength, he used his full primordial spirit to guide Bai Wuyan, allowing her to recover to her peak state in the shortest possible time.

So fragrant!
Bai Wuyan glanced coldly at Xiang Yuan, somewhat satisfied with his performance. Her cultivation just now had been very fruitful, more than a hundred times better than deducing the laws of heaven and earth on her own. Not yet satisfied, she was about to start the second round.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiang Yuan hurriedly called a halt. Although the athletes were strong, Bai Wuyan was also at his peak. He did not have the same profound level as Bai Wuyan. This dual cultivation had left him feeling exhausted, so he needed to rest for two days to catch his breath.

Moreover, his purpose in coming here was to break through the bottleneck of the Integration Stage, and after busying himself for so long, he still hasn't gotten to the point.

"Haven't you already broken through?" Bai Wuyan said coldly.

"when……"

Xiang Yuan exclaimed in surprise. Upon looking, he saw that it was true. The thin bottleneck had been crushed into dust and trampled under his feet.

I've merged, when?
Xiang Yuan was puzzled and looked at Bai Wuyan in his arms. If he was right, it was during the dual cultivation that Bai Wuyan protected him and helped him overcome the obstacle without saying a word.

"Why are you looking at me? At that time, our primordial spirits were united. If I hadn't made a move, I would have suffered a backlash, and you wouldn't have been the only one to suffer."

Bai Wuyan spoke expressionlessly, partly because she didn't want to be implicated by Xiang Yuan, and partly because the small world under the Tongyou stage was difficult to evolve such complex and heavy heavenly laws. She needed Xiang Yuan to enter the Fusion stage so that she could maximize her benefits.

If there is no way to maximize the benefits, how can I be worthy of her condescending to take the initiative to cultivate with Xiang Yuan?

That face is so annoying!

Xiang Yuan nodded repeatedly without refuting anything, indicating that what the White House official said was correct, the facts didn't matter, as long as she was happy.

He tightened his embrace around the voluptuous body and asked what the Integration Stage was, what the taboos were at this stage, and how to avoid going astray.

Bai Wuyan spoke to Xiang Yuan about almost everything, squinting her eyes as she gave him pointers: "The so-called fusion does not mean that one can achieve fusion simply by breaking through, but rather that one must combine the inner and outer worlds, with the inner world reaching the subtle and the outer world entering the Dao. Only when the inner and outer worlds converge can one achieve true fusion."

The inner world is the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements within the body, which every cultivator possesses. The strongest method of inner world cultivation is the small world cultivation method held by the Sword Venerable Su Ran. This Heavenly Emperor's inheritance is extremely precious.

The outer world refers to the laws and principles of heaven and earth. While comprehending these laws and principles, cultivators integrate themselves into the world, conceptually becoming a part of it.

Bai Wuyan was unaware of the strongest external laws, but Xiang Yuan certainly possessed them.

Tao follows nature!

Strictly speaking, the Daoist principle of following nature is not a law of the external world. When Laozi takes action, it is no ordinary matter; it is a clear case of dimensional reduction and attack.

Upon hearing Bai Wuyan's words, Xiang Yuan immediately realized that he had just advanced to the Fusion Stage and had already reached the final step of the Fusion Stage.

His inner world has been cultivated to a level far surpassing the advanced stage of the ordinary Integration Realm, not to mention his outer world. To paraphrase Laozi:
I come and go as I please, without needing the consent of heaven and earth.

Now he's really acting like the King of Heaven!
Xiang Yuan has now reached the final and most difficult step of the Integration Stage, where the inner and outer worlds converge.

He took too big a step, causing his inner world to undergo a terrifying qualitative change, to the point that he could independently evolve into a realm. Others combine their inner and outer worlds to unite themselves with the world, but he truly merged the outer world into a part of himself.

Rounding up or down, this is called devouring the world!
Not to mention that Xiang Yuan has not yet perfected the small world. If he were to perfect it, where would he find a sufficiently vast outer world?
Qianyuan Realm?
No, once the inner and outer worlds merge, the Qianyuan Realm will inevitably be absorbed into Xiang Yuan's body. So many living beings will be born and die along with the small world. Even if they can recover in the process of rebirth, will they still be themselves?

Xiang Yuan frowned deeply; he couldn't handle this kind of thing.

"You're so merciful!"

Bai Wuyan gave a cold laugh, her tone sarcastic and mocking.

However, that's not the case. That's just how the White House praises people; you'll get used to it.

Xiang Yuan was already used to it. Xiao Lingyue was right. As long as you could tolerate the White House Master's temper, she was actually quite easy to get along with.

Seeing Xiang Yuan frowning in deep thought, Bai Wuyan rolled her eyes: "Just because you're not in the Qianyuan Realm doesn't mean you can't go to other worlds. The Three Thousand Worlds are so vast, there are so many choices."

“There are living beings in other worlds too!” Xiang Yuan said weakly.

"Fool!"

Bai Wuyan felt she had given him a good reminder, but Xiang Yuan still didn't understand, so she simply stated, "The Desolate Ancient Realm, that world has no living beings, which suits your compassionate heart perfectly."

"Ah this..."

Xiang Yuan felt a chill run down his spine. The Desolate Ancient Realm was the place where the Heavenly Emperor fell. To regard it as an outer world was no different from devouring the Heavenly Emperor.
Hmm, it doesn't seem like it's impossible!
Xiang Yuan straightened his hair, and after a moment, he looked utterly disillusioned.

After thinking about it carefully, besides the Desolate Ancient Realm, the Heavenly Sect in the Qianyuan Realm also has a place where Yan Xuanhe passed away. I didn't think much of it before, but now that I see it, wow, it looks like a backup plan.

They've practically shoved it right in the young sect leader's face!
Shouldn't this be called scheming?
It's infuriating! Everywhere I go, there's scheming and plotting. When will this ever end?

He made a sound before it was over, and then lay down.

Seeing that Xiang Yuan remained silent and kept rolling his eyes, Bai Wuyan sneered, "You have quite a few schemes up your sleeve. I'm very curious how you'll die in the future."

If I die, you'll be a widow.

Bah! The Queen Mother of the West's elixir of immortality will be gone!
Xiang Yuan stared unblinkingly at Bai Wuyan. Although the two of them had completely cultivated their primordial spirits together today, they were inseparable. Their relationship was so intimate that compared to Xiao Lingyue, they were only one step away from being completely ignorant, a middleman, or someone who would think twice before acting.

Instead of just watching the show, the White House should hurry up and find a way to help him.

Bai Wuyan looked closely at the unlucky guy, and compared to Xiang Yuan, her schemes suddenly seemed less troublesome. Then, she sensed something was wrong from Xiang Yuan's eyes and couldn't laugh anymore.

What kind of look is that? What does your life or death have to do with me? Look at me again and I'll kill you right now! Bai Wuyan felt uncomfortable under his gaze and scratched Xiang Yuan's back hard, tearing his black Taoist robe into a tattered garment.

With the atmosphere at this point, continuing dual cultivation was impossible, and Bai Wuyan didn't want to guide Xiang Yuan's cultivation, at least not today. She raised her fingers and calculated that she and Xiang Yuan had been cultivating together for almost a month, and hadn't shown up for a long time, which had delayed her teaching.

"I have made some progress in my cultivation and need to consolidate it through meditation. Go to the White Lotus Palace and teach in my place."

"I?!"

Xiang Yuan pointed at himself with a bewildered look. It was no problem for him to teach Xiao Lingyan, who was in the Nascent Soul stage. He had no problem with that. But to ask him to teach and enlighten Xiao Lingyan, who was in the Profound Realm stage, was the White Palace Lord giving him too much credit?

"With your cultivation level, what's wrong with teaching three good-for-nothing cultivators?" Bai Wuyan retorted.

It seems that it really is true.

Xiang Yuan nodded secretly. As a Grandmaster in the Integration Stage, he was more than capable of guiding other Grandmasters. Besides, it wasn't like he was being asked to impart his cultivation experience in the Integration Stage. He had walked the Path of the Netherworld step by step, especially in the area of ​​the laws of heaven and earth, where no one understood it better than him.

"That being said, those three good-for-nothing Tongyou cultivators..."

Xiang Yuan hesitated. With Xiao Lingyue in seclusion, the three grandmasters could only be Yinshuang, Daoxue, and Qingzhuying. He was temporarily teaching in place of Bai Wuyan. What would these three think? What if they imagined some strange plot and it got out and affected their reputation?
Xiang Yuan doesn't care, the key is the White House owner, a rich woman who cares about her reputation.

Bai Wuyan didn't think too much about it at the moment. She waved her hand, telling Xiang Yuan to hurry to the White Lotus Palace so as not to delay class time.

"Let me make this clear from the start: don't blame me if I teach you the wrong thing..."

Xiang Yuan whispered something, and seeing that Bai Wuyan had already closed her eyes, he put her down from his arms and sat cross-legged. After changing his clothes, he stepped out and entered the White Lotus Palace.

With Bai Wuyan's help in this breakthrough, and her high-level account helping him gain experience, Xiang Yuan skipped the necessary steps of consolidating his realm. In effect, he gained an extra month.

Being a kept man is so delicious!

……

Inside the White Lotus Palace.

Xiang Yuan stepped out into the side hall, into a quiet room, where he saw Xiao Lingyue sitting facing the wall.

Some time ago, Xiao Lingyue was dissatisfied with Bai Wuyan's actions. She called out "Master Sister" expressionlessly in front of Yinshuang, Daoxue, and Qingzhuying, showing no mercy to Bai Wuyan.

Some things, if you don't weigh four ounces on the scale, you'll weigh a thousand pounds on the scale.

Bai Wuyan was stunned for a long time. After regaining her senses, she was furious and punished her rebellious disciple by making him face the wall to reflect on his mistakes. He was not allowed to leave seclusion until he broke through to the Integration Stage.

This puts Xiao Lingyue in a difficult position. No matter how talented she is, it's impossible for her to break through to the Integration Stage without ever touching a bottleneck and by working in isolation.

Bai Wuyan didn't expect her to break through, so she set an impossible goal, and when she failed to achieve it, she had a reason to continue punishing her.

So what if you have a husband protecting you? Your master is still your master, and he has plenty of ways to deal with you!

Xiang Yuan was unaware of this farce. Seeing Xiao Lingyue's struggling figure, he stepped forward and embraced her. His primordial spirit surged in, transmitting the principles of heaven and earth that he and Bai Wuyan had just figured out to Xiao Lingyue.

In a daze, Xiao Lingyue caught a familiar scent—the one from her bedside, and the one from that other person. Her brows furrowed, and just as she was about to open her eyes, she was overwhelmed by the laws of heaven and earth and sank instantly.

Despite the sinking sensation, muscle memory remained, and the body began to move on its own. It tilted its head, arched its back, found a spot on Xiang Yuan's shoulder, and began to suck blood.

Before eating, remember the etiquette of disinfecting first.

In terms of cleanliness, he is very similar to Bai Wuyan; the master and disciple relationship is flawless.

A moment later, Xiang Yuan put Xiao Lingyue down, left the side hall's quiet room, and sat cross-legged on the crystal cloud bed in the main hall.

Four prayer cushions were placed in front of him, one empty, and the remaining three held Yinshuang, Daoxue, and Qingzhuying respectively.

"..." x3
Are they not even acting anymore? x3
Upon seeing Xiang Yuan appear in the position of Palace Master/Master, the two humans and one demon were first dumbfounded, and then quickly lowered their heads. Because they did not know how to address him or whether they should address him, they kept their eyes down and remained silent throughout.

On the surface, everything was quiet, but the chat room was in an uproar.

Yinshuang: Where is the Palace Master? Why is someone surnamed Xiang here?

Dao Xue: Senior sister, why do you ask questions you already know the answer to? Also, in my humble opinion, the term "surname Xiang" is inappropriate. If it reaches the ears of the Palace Master, you will surely be punished by being made to reflect on your mistakes.

Qingzhuying: Senior sisters, I'm new here and don't know the rules. What should I call you?

Yinshuang: Yes, what should I call you? Should I apologize to my junior sister, or to my master?
Daoxue: This is so hard to guess!
Green Bamboo Shadow: Yes, it's so difficult!

Of the three, Qing Zhuying was the most excited, not because she was the most gossipy, but because the contrast was too great and the difference was too great.

When Qingzhuying was first captured by Bai Wuyan and taken to Wushuang Palace as a mount, she felt as if the sky had fallen. She was destined to be a slave for life, with no bright future ahead of her, and thought it would be better to die.

Later I realized how delicious it was.

The Peerless Palace has no shortage of cultivation resources and renowned teachers to guide it. The key issue is its chaotic interpersonal relationships, with endless gossip to dine on every day.

If she had just said it was a peerless palace, there would have been no need for the palace master to capture it herself. She would have happily come over as soon as she was told.

The Azure Phoenix will never be a slave, unless it is provided with food, lodging, and entertainment.

Qingzhu Ying secretly glanced at Xiang Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged with a serious expression. If she was right, this was the male master... The male master seemed to have many female confidantes. Could it be that he would try to harm her one day?

Never mind, even if she stretches out, she's determined to stay in Wushuang Palace!

Sister Rou, please don't come! You have no idea how happy I am here!

"I have a feeling that you're thinking some very rude things..."

Xiang Yuan looked speechlessly at the three obedient heads below. He hadn't even started lecturing yet, and his fists were already itching to punch someone. He coughed lightly, clenched his fist, and explained, "Master Bai Gong has gained some insights into his cultivation and needs to go into seclusion for a while. I'll be filling in for you today..."

Xiang Yuan tried his best to stop the two people and the demon from overthinking, but his explanations were just a cover-up, making things worse. In the ears of the two people and the demon, his attempt to cover up the truth was no different from trying to hide something obvious.

The question is, how is the Palace Master/Master doing now? x3
After a moment's thought, the three of them could picture it.

Then I realized that Xiao Lingyue was in seclusion...

So exciting! x3
There are no most exciting moments in life, only more exciting moments. There's no end to the gossip. Just as the chat room of the two people and the demon was in an uproar, a figure in black pushed open the door and walked out of the White Lotus Palace.

The visitor was none other than Cheng Yuling, Bai Wuyan's first disciple, Xiao Lingyue's senior sister and mother, Xiang Yuan's mother-in-law and godmother, and the Empress of Western Chu.

A heavyweight has arrived!

"Master, your disciple Yu Ling has come to pay her respects."

Cheng Yuling, a tomboy with a carefree personality, ran with her head down to Yinshuang's side. Seeing that there was an empty prayer mat, she obediently knelt down, intending to pay her respects to her master.

Before he could kneel down, a gentle breeze supported his knees and straightened them.

Cheng Yuling was puzzled. She thought to herself that she hadn't offended her master recently, so why was she bringing a bunch of gifts from the capital to show her respect to him?

Looking up, he saw Xiang Yuan sitting cross-legged on the crystal cloud bed, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Who are you?
Wait a minute, how come you're sitting in the Master's seat?
Their eyes met, and Xiang Yuan felt immense pressure. He suddenly had the illusion that he was being caught cheating on his wife by his mother-in-law.

Although, but, it roughly means the same thing.

What should I do? How can I argue, or rather, explain, to clear up the misunderstanding?

Cheng Yuling was well-versed in palace intrigue, but as Xiao Lingyue said, the script of the Prince Zhao's mansion did not include the husband and master having an affair. Cheng Yuling had zero experience in this area and never even considered the possibility of her son-in-law/adopted son having an affair with her master.

In her mind, her master was pure and immaculate, and her son-in-law was far away... well, in short, her master was high above and untouched by worldly affairs.

Although Cheng Yuling didn't know why Xiang Yuan was sitting in Bai Wuyan's seat and acting like the host, there was one thing she knew very well: the person sitting there was her son-in-law and adopted son.

This kid is getting more and more amazing; he can even give lessons to grandmasters now.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yuling raised her chin and looked at her two senior sisters with great arrogance: "Senior sisters, this is Xiang Yuan, my son-in-law. Don't let his handsome appearance fool you, when he fights, three or five grandmasters can't even get close to him..."

"Moreover, he's stuck in the middle, not good enough for high positions but not good enough for low ones, and he ended up with the title of Hegemon-King of Western Chu. That's the end of his life..."

"Alas, whenever I think of how he was just a child and his career came to an end, I, the Empress, can't eat or sleep. It's really worrying me."

Throughout their conversation, they kept praising how amazing their child was.

And my junior sister is also amazing.

"..." x3
You unfilial son, you have no respect for your elders! Who do you think you are? x3
Open your eyes wide and look carefully! There's no son-in-law here! Kneel down and call him "Master!" x3
"Hey, senior sisters, why aren't you saying anything?"

Cheng Yuling was full of doubts: "And this fairy... what is your name? How should I address you?"
